The best single bedding sets for your room in halls
Napping has never looked so stylish
If you're hoping to head off to university in September, let's get the most important thing sorted first - your bedroom.
Once you’ve had a drink or two to celebrate getting in, it’s time to start buying everything you need to make your new pad look as cool as possible. If you’re not sure where to start, the easiest way to give your new home an instant update is to splash out on a fresh single bedding set - especially if you’ve got a double bed at home, as you’re probably going to be switching to a single come Freshers week.
The bed is always the focal point of any sleeping space, but especially so in tiny student rooms. Dressing it properly is really important if you want to make your new digs feel cosy and homely, and the duvet is one of the easiest way to do that seeing as you can't touch the walls.
Whether you’re a Scandi-loving minimalist or prefer your styling a bit more extra, we’ve rounded up the best single bedding sets to instantly update your bare-bones uni room and turn it into the perfect student sanctuary. All of these options are also available in double size too, if you did want to go large and make your new space a little more luxe.
Gingham is so cute for spring and lilac makes it even sweeter. And look at those little frills on the pillowcases! Adorable.
Yes, it's a bit pricier than some of the others in this round-up, but if you're looking for something super low maintenance? Linen is the one. It looks chicly distressed in an artful way, right out of the wash, so it won't look a mess if you don't iron it (and let's be honest, you're not going to iron it).
At just £14, this is a bargain, giving you more spends for extra pretty bits for your room (like some faux plants, sparkly fairy lights and some cute art, for starters).
Will we ever get bored of the palm leaf vibe? Answer: probably not. Finish with a rattan lampshade and a jute rug for an easy tropical look.
Well this gorge floral set is very grown up. It's reversible, too, so you basically get two pretty looks for the bargain price of just £14.
This is fun and textural and can still go in the washing machine! Result. Dress up with plenty of bold tones or go more Scandi by pairing it with pale woods and grey accessories.
LR has so many bedding sets, it's well worth a browse to see what takes your fancy, but we're loving this tufted boho set especially.
Velvet + deep green + quilting = boujie. If you want to feel fancy, then this is the one for you.
Dreamy is the word with this pastel tie dye set. We think it would be literally impossible to have a bad night's sleep tucked up in these sheets.
If you're looking for a quick way to up the chicness of your space, going monochrome is the way to do it – and, with this set, all for under £20.
Frills are everywhere for SS22 and we are 100% here for it. They instantly turn a basic plain duvet set into something a bit more fun. This girly pale pink is super versatile too – you can have some fun styling this one.
Are you in your teeny bedroom in halls or are you on your hols on the Amalfi coast? Well, okay, you are, in fact, in your digs on campus. BUT wrapping up in this duvet is basically the next best thing to sunning yourself in Italy – and more appropriate if you're on a deadline.
Goblincore is still A Thing and you can get in on the trend by investing in this charming mushroom print duvet set. Look at those little toadstools! You'll feel like a pixie tucked up in these.
More lilac here – we are really vibing with the pastel thing for 2022. This muslin cover has a super soft waffle detail which is very snuggly. A special treat for hungover duvet days on the sofa.
If you can't have a full-on leopard print duvet set when you're at university, then when can you have one? Accessorise with *whatever* you like – by all means, go as extra as poss.
